We stayed here becuase we were thinking of moving out to Adelaide.
Positives: good location for the beach, spacious apartments
Negatives: Pool was dirty on arrival and when asked to have it cleaned were told we would have to wait until the middle of the week! we had kids with us who wanted to jump in the pool (which was the only reason we booked this apartment). The surrounds of the pool is tiny, there are only a few plastic chairs and 1 table which have seen their day. There is a barbecue which looked like you would get food poisening from if you tried to cook anything. The surround of the pool is also plagued by ducks. which might sound cute but not when you are trying to get your kids from avoiding standing in their muck and putting their hands in it when getting out of the pool. This was the main bug bear for us. Also they have a washing machine to use but you have to pay to use it!. If you dont have a car it is quite a long walk to the shops to get any food for your self catering accomodation. We found the food and alcohol expensive. there is a chip shop a few minutes walk and it is ok (when it is open!) It is a nice walk along the beach (approx 25 mins) to Glenelg and this is a nice place to go.
If I were to go back again (which I never will) I would not stay here. I felt the place could do with an update and a thorough clean. we stayed nearly a month and had to ask for them to change the bedding!
We stayed here because of the price and its location to everything we needed to do whilst we were there but I really do feel that it spoilt our holiday a bit and had we stayed at nicer more modern and cleaner apartments we would have had a different aspect on it.
I would say it would be ok for a few days if you just want a place to crash but if you are staying longer than a week then i would look around. I found it was not in a good enough central location. yes there was a bus stop outside, but if you wanted to walk anywhere it was quite a trek, especially for food! hire a car!
